May 18 is International Museum Day. In the afternoon of the same day, the Shanghai Cai Yuanpei Former Residence Exhibition Hall and the Yuanli Pawnshop Former Site Museum under the jurisdiction of the Jing'an District Cultural Relics and Historical Museum held a parent-child research activity with the theme of "Embracing Spring, Naturalism and Knowledge". Families who successfully "snapped for a place in the second game" spent a fulfilling and meaningful weekend at the museum.
In the exhibition hall of Cai Yuanpei's former residence in Shanghai, the children, who had already been aroused by the wonderful introduction of the docent's sister, had aroused their strong curiosity and plunged into the long river of traditional culture and history. Through the "historical review", everyone listened to Cai Yuanpei's story and felt Mr. Cai Yuanpei's wisdom and feelings; In the subsequent "Situational Interaction", he successfully decrypted Mr. Cai Yuanpei's footprints in Shanghai through tracing and exploration. "It turns out that Mr. Cai Yuanpei's family likes to paint. I also love to draw. The children approached Mr. Cai Yuanpei's life and hobbies, and discussed and exchanged ideas with each other.
The same journey of discovery also appears at the Yuanli Pawnshop Site Museum. One by one, the children turned into "little pilgrims", exploring the special architectural structure of the pawnshop and learning about the cultural characteristics of the pawn shop. Everyone also listened to the pawn story and decoded the "jargon code" of the pawn industry, "Can you understand the word I wrote?" Can't read it? I must have not listened carefully just now, this is the word 'dang'. ”
Parents who accompanied their children to participate in the research activities said that this activity not only increased their children's knowledge, but also benefited them a lot. It is expected that the museum will be able to hold more educational, interesting and interactive activities in the future, especially parent-child research activities, so that they will have more opportunities to accompany children to learn and grow together.
"This parent-child research activity closely follows the theme of this year's International Museum Day, 'Museums are committed to education and research', and we hope to build a bridge between museums and the public more widely through parent-child research, so as to attract more children to enter museums, understand museums, and fall in love with museums." The Jing'an District Cultural Relics and Historical Museum said that it will continue to innovate the content and form of activities in the future, closely combine "visiting museums" with "ideological and political courses", attract more young people to enter the museum, and subtly enhance their understanding of Shanghai's red culture, Shanghai culture, and Jiangnan culture, so that the soul of culture can be planted in the hearts of young people.
